This last sale raises some interesting questions. The White Moor Farm above had lands known as Mokin Hole Pasture and Mokin Hole Plantation. We know that this area is to the east of Haynslack  and to the west of Pasture Head Farm (who now own this land). 
 
The building is said (1852) to be a modern-build and, couple this with the fact that Green Bank Meadow fell within the farm lands, it seems fair to say that White Moor Farm was not the White Moor Bottom Farm situated on Standing Stone Lane. Was the present Green Bank House actually White Moor Farm, or the present Pasture Head or Brown House Farm????
